"I like it. What was done to the Jews was beyond barbarism, it was the very essence of evil and hatred."

I see you're no friend of the First Amendment.

First, this is an Austrian law and I'm not familiar with their system of government. But moreover, I'm a friend of truth.

I'm not Jewish, but the holocaust did happen and it was evil beyond description. He wasn't arrested here, so no freedom of speech violated. You have the right to say whatever you want. You can say slavery never happened. You can say Pearl Harbor never happened. You can say 9/11 never happened. You can burn the flag and pee on the Bible. But there are consequences and everyone else has a right to be offended. And the Austrians can lock him up if they're offended. It's their country. their law.

But hey, Could be worse. He could have been a Jew in Germany in 1941. Think the Nazis would have violated his freedom of speech?

The Austrian Constitution has a First Amendment?
